Recent discussions among researchers highlight ongoing challenges faced by large language models (LLMs) in reasoning tasks. A new paper critiques the effectiveness of current standardized benchmarks, suggesting they fail to accurately reflect the reasoning capabilities of LLMs and expose their weaknesses. One researcher noted that while companies like OpenAI claim high performance on reasoning benchmarks, LLMs struggle with simple tasks, such as the 'Alice' task. Another researcher proposed an innovative method to evaluate LLM reasoning beyond mere accuracy, focusing on positional bias in multiple-choice questions. This approach aims to discern whether LLMs truly understand logic or are merely making educated guesses. Additionally, findings indicate that LLMs could enhance their reasoning by refining their training data through self-generated reasoning paradigms, utilizing a universal text template for training.
LLMs can not only reason but also improve their own training data, leading to better reasoning. This paper enhances LLM reasoning by refining training datasets with LLM-generated reasoning paradigms, utilizing a universal text template for training. ----- Original Problem 🤔:… https://t.co/YcCuiWULWo
Training an LLM on the output of an LLM? How would this work? https://t.co/64gpHFOZox
Student asked how well LLMs can reason. I said I didnt know. OpenAI/etc claim great performance on reasoning benchmarks, but they fail at simple things like "Alice" task. Also I dont think people use LLMs for real world reasoning tasks. So truth unclear, and I distrust bench
